Ice Skating in Helena

Lynn & Dana — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 22:21:59 +0000

The Helena Advertising and Promotions Commission brought iceskating back to Helena for a second year! It was so much fun watching families enjoy time together and school children experience skating for the first time. Santa dropped by for the opening skating session and shared his jolly personality and some candy canes with the children. One of Helena's newest citizens, Kennedy Frer met Santa and seemed to think he was an alright kind of guy.

Open House with the Delta Jewels

Lynn & Dana — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 22:11:01 +0000

Dana and I held an open house at the end of November so that we could show off this beautiful home all decorated for Christmas and to give a group of local girls called the Delta Jewels to show off their talents and sell some of the marvelous jewelry they have made. The Delta Jewels displayed their jewelry and assisted with serving refreshments for the guests. It was a very successful day for both the Delta Jewels and the Edwardian Inn. Thanks to everyone who dropped by to visit with us!

Who would have thought that we would have such a beautiful snow in November? It was very quick to disappear, but enjoyed while it was here!

Busy, Busy Fall Season

Lynn & Dana — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 17:37:36 +0000

We have been very busy since the beginning of October ---- Blues Festival weekend, Katherine Fuller and Brad Thompson Wedding weekend, Teach for America Coffee House, and this weekend we had Razorback Football fans travelling to and from Oxford, MS going to the game. Next week is Tour da Delta and a high school reunion of Miller High School classmates. All of these events have brought in such a diverse group of people! We never have time to get bored!!!! Yesterday, I tried to carry out my "Annual Fall Burn" by setting fire to a huge pile of leaves, grass clippings, and tree limbs collected through the summer. It was a really slow burn and even with the rain today we still have a little smoldering going on. The seed trucks are busily travelling to and from the grain elevators that sit on the river so I know it is really fall. My father was in the cottonseed and soybean business so I spent a great portion of my young life watching trucks unload at the Buckeye Cotton Oil Mill. I love fall almost as much as I love spring! The world of Helena is in transition and things are looking good!

New Photograph of the Inn

Lynn & Dana — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 18:17:38 +0000

We have a new photograph of the Inn posted on this website. We are so proud of the new front steps and handrail! We continue to make improvements in the Inn too. Dana is working diligently to remodel one of the bathrooms on the third floor. By the end of this week, there will be a new tile job completed in the tub/shower area wrapping around behind the toilet and lavatory. We are removing the "Popcorn" ceilings throughout the third floor, stripping wallpaper, painting, and laying new flooring in the bathrooms. Ceitling fans will be installed in the third floor common area to help stir the air on these warm summer days. Slow and steady is our motto!!!! This is the perfect place for a family with young children to stay!!!! Check us out!

July brings Missionaries, Educators, and Grandchildren!

Lynn & Dana — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 22:17:47 +0000

We will have missionaries from Little Rock, AR and North Carolina this month. These great folks will serve as volunteers in swim camps and day camps for the children and adults of Helena, Lakeview, and Elaine. Along with the missionaries, our daughter, Hailey and her two boys - Bryton and Cohen-- will visit for a couple of weeks. We always look forward to seeing our grandchildren! I have a blow up pool, a swing, and toys all ready for outdoor play. Perry and Porter will get to have playtime with some energetic boys too! We will post pictures of our adventures while they are here.

A Busy, Busy June

The military has come and gone! We sure did enjoy learning more about the services our military provides for the citizens of this great country. They truly impacted the lives of many people in the Delta of Arkansas during their two week mission. There were hundreds of teeth pulled, 250 dogs and cats spayed and neutered, over a hundred pairs of glasses made, and doctor's treatment galore. All total they provided services to 5,595 patients in this part of the country. It was one of the most positive things to happen in this area in a long time. Thanks to the US Army, Navy, and Air Force Reserves for coming to share your talents and skills. You won't be forgotten!

The Army, Air Force, and Navy Reserves Arrive in Helena

Lynn & Dana — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 01:37:16 +0000

Yesterday the Air Force and Army Reserves began arriving in Helena to establish the medical mission facilities. They will be here through the 19th or 20th providing free medical and dental care and veterinary services to our community free of charge as a part of their readiness training. These troops are from as far away as Boston, Kentucky, Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. Dana and I are looking forward to having the Leadership Team staying with us. In addition to the daily breakfast, Dana and I will be serving about 20 of the soldiers dinner each evening. I am looking forward to meeting all of these fine officers. Thank you for choosing to come to the Delta for this training.
